Luxembourg

The flag of Luxembourg consists of three horizontal stripes, red, white and blue. It was first used between 1845 and 1848 and officially adopted in June 1972. Luxembourg had no flag until 1830, when patriots were urged to display the national colours. The tricolor flag is almost identical to that of the Netherlands, except that it is longer and its blue stripe is a lighter shade. The red, white, and blue colouring was derived from the Grand Duke's coat of arms, which dates from the 13th century.
